Trigger warning and advise please

[anxietyangel]

I have planned with my midwife (on my badger notes app) to have an elected section at a hospital which is not my local one. And it turns out all my scans and things will also be at that hospital.

I have started to bleed and have pain (11 weeks) and wondered if I can go to my local hospital about this? Probably the EPU?? Or do I have to go to the one which is not my local one that I planed to have my section and scans at?
Thank you.

I am sorry you are going through this. I would have thought you could go to local hospital / early pregnancy unit. Could you call 111 to find out? Hope all is well.

@Birdsongsingingagainandagain thank you for your message. I will give them a call and see😢

How badly bleeding?

but if worrying amount - a&e

@Aquickturn81 not heavily enough to warrant a trip to A&E but enough to cause me alarm

Give the local epu a call. I was seen in two pregnant my local epu before I had my booking appointment so wasn't "on the system" yet but they happily saw me.

@Superscientist thank you, I will do that. I currently have an electrician here as I have a power cut, but I’ll phone them when he’s gone x

go in to another room and call op

Your local EPU should still see you.
They might redirect you to your planned hospital if they’re in a different Trust (not 100% certain though). x

Sorry your going through this my epu won't see you for bleeding before 16 weeks. I was told ambulatory gynecology if bleeding before then but agree ring 111, they should direct you to the right place. Xx

Not all hospitals share notes. Yes somethings will be visible on your NHS app but not every NHS Trust can see notes written in a different trust. If the 2 hospitals are in the same trust then of course this is not a problem.
However, this is one of the problems you risk by electing delivery at a further away hospital (which is totally your right but risks dilemmas such as this).
Good luck, I hope everything goes well for you

I phoned my local EPU and they have booked me a scan for tomorrow morning.
Thank you everyone for listening and for your advice

Glad you have got sorted OP. Hope everything is ok with your scan tomorrow.

@OopsieeDaisy thank you. Sadly my bleeding has become a bit more heavier. They’ve said if I feel dizzy or faint then I should go to A&E.
I have had a mc before and the back pain feels similar🥺 but I’ll see tomorrow x

Hoping for the best tomorrow.

@Birdsongsingingagainandagain thank you x

No heartbeat, baby only measuring 8 weeks🥺. Surgical removal booked for Monday morning😥😥

I am so so sorry 🤗 why is life so cruel 😢

Good luck for Monday and look after yourself xx

Oh no I’m so sorry. Take care of yourself.

Thank you xx

So sorry to read this, look after yourself x
